Prep & Kit for 4-day gravel race in Africa's Masai Mara

Hello from @migrationgravelrace! I’ve not yet be

Hello from @migrationgravelrace! I’ve not yet been eaten by lions and I’m still in the GC 🎉 Yesterday’s stage took 12 hours and was one of the most beautiful and most painful days I’ve ever had on the bike.
I’d struggled to eat my dinner the day before and breakfast was an ordeal though I managed to eat some toast and a boiled egg.
No idea what was wrong with me but I felt really sick from the very start of the race and just decided to keep going as long as I could. I kept squeezing in gels, sipping water and turning the pedals with small targets in mind - the brow of the hill, the next turning, checkpoint one, checkpoint 2.
At some point the nausea stopped and I was able to start eating some very plain biscuits. So then I just had the painful body to deal with!
12 hours after I started I crossed the finish line. Brutal, yes, but bloody amazing. Kenya is so beautiful!
One more stage left tomorrow - 172km to the finish 🏁

Before and after! Really, really VERY stoked to h

Before and after!
Really, really VERY stoked to have successfully completed stage 1 of @migrationgravelrace. Currently in sixth so happy with that too. More on all this later, but for now I’m calling it a night and going to bed 💤

Nearly all packed and ready for Africa, just a few

Nearly all packed and ready for Africa, just a few more bits and bobs to organise and I’m off!

When I’m an old Nanna and I’m back from sailing around the world I’m gonna get a beach hut and a sausage dog. Where do you see yourself when you’re 80?

Had a bit of an East Devon Trail Fail.
Left my entire tool kit at home and therefore couldn’t fix a slice in my tyre 🙈 Enjoyed parts 1 and 2 and a stay at the amazing Youth Hostel in Beer, nearly made it to Lyme Regis then had to limp my way to Axminster station for a train home.
I’ll be back to finish the rest off ASAP. Can’t recommend @eastdevontrail enough!

Big ups to @pedaled_official for the delivery 🚚

Big ups to @pedaled_official for the delivery 🚚 This afternoon I tried out the Odyssey Hydro Vest and tested out a nutrition strategy for @migrationgravelrace. Not 100% sure I’ll go for the liquid only plan as it made me want a wee all the time and my stomach was growling. 🤷‍♀️ But perhaps I can find a compromise that helps me minimise the amount of food I need to carry and means my stomach isn’t either heavy or starving. Either way, we have to carry 3L of water so the vest will be great.
Can confirm it’s unbelievably lightweight and comfortable!

So nice to be home ☺️

Wrapped up the road trip with a trip to @dyfibikepark and now we are heading back to Devon. Tomorrow I’m gonna have a quick razz on my new motorbike and hit the gym then over the weekend I’ve a 6-hour ride on the schedule as I finalise my prep for @migrationgravelrace 😁
Hope you’ve been having a good week!
